Ed Harold is a partner in the New Orleans office and chair of the firm's Retail Industry Practice Group.

His practice is primarily devoted to employment litigation in both state and federal court in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama and counseling employers to avoid litigation.

Throughout his career, he has spent significant time and attention assisting employers in managing employee attendance and leave issues.

As a result of this work, in 1999, Ed testified before the Subcommittee on Children and Families of the Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee of the United States Senate about the problems employers face in administering FMLA leave.
